Monday it was time to leave for Italy. I started the day slowly, and loaded up the bike carefully, in such a way that I’d be able to get to everything I needed as I needed it. I also dropped by Louis again to get some more bits, including a helmet net to transport a spare helmet and, realising I’d be on the road for a bit I also invested in a motorbike USB charger for the phone which would also be my map for the trip.
And I was on my way. On the way out I also stopped past Klaus’ place, as Hugo (his twin brother who lives in Tassie) was just visiting. It was good to catch up but I quickly ran out of time and had to head off. Today I still needed to make it to Munich.
About 6 hours of riding and breaks at McInternet later, even managing to get a Vignette (“I paid the road tax” sticker) for Austria already, I arrived tired but fine…
My standard fare at McInternet – Blueberry muffin with large late.
Only to find the hotel was over-booked and the room wasn’t available!
The replacement room was nice!
But credit where credit is due! The Hotel owner quickly arranged a replacement room for me in a nearby motel, which turned out to be really nice.
By the time I arrived there, all decent dinner options were already closed so I rode to the closest McDonalds for a late-night snack…. I’m spending too much time at Maccas when I travel!
By midnight I finally dropped into bed.
Listening to….
Maccas comes in handy all over the place! 🤗
